This message persisted after numerous attempts to perform the Azure AD Join and numerous reboots.
After failing to find ANY reference to the error code online, I started digging into Azure AD and Microsoft Intune. The computer had been reimaged a few times and I found 3 records of the computer (more specifically, the computer name) in Intune by navigating to the console -> Groups -> All Devices -> sort by Name.
Selecting all of the instances, then right-clicking and selecting Retire/Wipe, then Selectively wipe the device, seemed to do the trick. After a few minutes I was able to delete the orphaned devices in Intune, then a few minutes later I was able to successfully join Azure AD and the computer was automatically re-enrolled in Intune (Windows 10 MDM).
